Emerald and Sapphire: The saturated point

An Art Deco space with a single saturated color. This color is a deep, rich emerald green or sapphire blue, high in chroma but low in value; it appears in one or two locations: a set of velvet armchairs, a section of a lacquered wall, or a slab of green marble. Because there is only one hue and its area is controlled, it becomes a clear focal point against the black and gold or ivory background. Avoid: using more than two saturated colors simultaneously, letting the saturated color area exceed thirty percent, using bright light-toned jewel colors, dispersing the color into many small objects.

一個加入單一飽和色的裝飾藝術空間。這個顏色是深而濃的祖母綠或寶石藍,彩度高但明度低;它出現在一到兩個位置:一組絲絨單椅、一段髹漆的牆,或是一片綠色大理石。因為只有一個色相且面積受控,它在黑金或象牙的底色上成為明確的焦點。避免:同時使用兩種以上的飽和色、讓飽和色的面積超過三成、使用明亮的淺色調寶石色、把顏色分散到很多小物件上。
